Aunt Mabel promised to give you $9000 when you successfully complete your freshman year, $6000 when you successfully complete your sophomore year, $1000 when you successfully complete your junior year, and $8000 when you successfully complete your senior year. Aunt Mabel made this promise when you graduated from High School and let's assume you go directly to the University of Illinois and graduate in four years. Aunt Mabel expects the interest rates to be 5.250% during your freshman year, 2.500% during your sophomore year, 3.250% during your junior year, and 9.250% during your senior year. If Aunt Mable can predict interest rates accurately, she will deposit into her bank account $____________. (dollars, rounded to two places after the decimal)

Answers

Answer 1

Solution :

At every stage the formula used will be :

[tex]$\frac{\text{available balance}}{(1+\text{interest rate})}= \text{required bank balance}$[/tex]

After the junior year, Aunt Mabel's bank balance will be :

[tex]$=\frac{8000}{1.0925}$[/tex]

= $ 7,322.65

Aunt Mabel's bank balance after sophomore year will be :

7,322.65 + 1000 = $ 8,322.65

[tex]$=\frac{8,322.65}{1.0325} $[/tex]

= $ 8060.677

After the freshman year, bank balance of Aunt Mable's will be :

8060.677 + 6000 = $ 14,060.677

[tex]$=\frac{14,060.677}{1.0250} $[/tex]

= $ 14.0606

If Aunt Mabel can predict the interest rate with accuracy, she will have to deposit :

$ 14.0606 + $ 9000 = $ 9,014.06

[tex]$=\frac{9014.06}{1.0525}$[/tex]

= $ 8,565.241

Compute the 2020 tax liability and the marginal and average tax rates for the following taxpayers. Click here to access the 2020 tax rate schedule. If required, round the tax liability to the nearest dollar. When required, round the average rates to four decimal places before converting to a percentage (i.e. .67073 would be rounded to .6707 and entered as 67.07%). a. Chandler, who files as a single taxpayer, has taxable income of $94,800.

Answers

Answer:

Tax liability:

Chandler is in 85,525 - 163,300 bracket.

Liability is:

= 14,605.50 + (24 % * (94,800 - 85,525))

= 14,605.50 + 2,226

= $‭16,832

Marginal Tax rate = 24%

Marginal tax rate for 85,525 - 163,300 bracket is 24%.

Average tax rate:

= Tax liability / Taxable income

= 16,832 / 94,800

= 17.76%

MECCS Inc. has net income of $3,492, interest expense of $172, sales of $7,290, addition to retained earnings of $1,596, selling and general expenses of $1,820, and depreciation of $990. What is the amount of dividends paid if the tax rate is 21 percent

Answers

Answer: $1,896‬

Explanation:

The amount of net income that is retained is determined by the amount of dividends paid in the formula:

= 3,492 - 1,596

= $1,896‬

Taxes and expenses would have already been catered for in the Net income.

Before prorating the manufacturing overhead costs at the end of 2016, the Cost of Goods Sold and Finished Goods Inventory had applied overhead costs of $57,600 and $21,000 in them, respectively. There was no Work-in-Process at the beginning or end of 2016. During the year, manufacturing overhead costs of $75,000 were actually incurred. The balance in the Applied Manufacturing Overhead was $78,600 at the end of 2016. If the under- or overapplied overhead is prorated between Cost of Goods Sold and the inventory accounts, how much will be the Cost of Goods Sold after the proration

Answers

Answer: $60238

Explanation:

First and foremost, we need to calculate the over applied overhead which will be the difference between the actual overhead and the applied overhead. This will be:

= $78600 - $75000

= $3600

Then, the portion allocated to the cost of goods sold will be:

= $3600 × $57600 /($57600 + $21000)

= $3600 × $57600/$78600

= $3600 × 0.7328

= $2638

Therefore, the cost of Goods Sold after the proration will be:

= $57600 + $2638

= $60238

What is the present value of the following set of cash flows, discounted at 15% per year? Year 1 2 3 4 Cash flow $100 -$100 $200 -$200

Answers

Answer:

$28.51

Explanation:

The computation of the present value of the following cash flows is as follows;

Present value factor = 1 ÷ (1 + rate of interest)^number of years

Now the present value is  

= $100 × present value factor of year 1 - $100 × present value factor of year 2 + $200 × present value factor of year 3 - $200 × present value factor of year 4

= $100 × 0.8696 - $100 × 0.7561 + $200 × 0.6575 - $200 × 0.5717

= $86.96 - $75.61 + $131.5 - $114.34

= $28.51

What is the connection between psychology and mathematics?

The area of psychology known as mathematical psychology is concerned with using mathematical and computational models to analyze and forecast human behavior. Memory, attention, problem-solving, perception, decision-making, and motor control are typical areas of interest.

Psychologists can interpret data and gain a better understanding of the brain with math. Therefore, having these skills is essential if you want to be as productive as possible at work. Though they usually focus on a person's behavior and thought processes, therapists can benefit from having a basic understanding of math. Students who understand math will do better in their science classes because math is closely related to the subjects they study.

Thus, the ideal selection is option C.

Navistar Electric issued 1000 debenture bonds 2 years ago with a face value of $5,000 each and a bond interest rate of 15% per year payable semiannually. The bonds have a maturity date of 20 years from the date they were issued. If the interest rate in the market place is 10% per year compounded semiannually, determine the present worth today of one bond.

Answers

Answer:

$7,081.25

Explanation:

Face value = 5000

Coupon = 15% paid annually. Semi annual payment = 750/2 = 375

Time to maturity = 18 years

Interest rate = 10% compounded semi-annually

P = 375(P|A, 5%, 36) + 5000(P|F, 5%, 36)

P = 375(16.58131488) + 5000(0.17265193)

P = 6217.99308 + 863.25965

P = 7081.25273

P = $7,081.25

So, the present worth of one bond today is  $7,081.25

Answers

Question is incomplete as the cost of the sidewalk is not given :

Assume the sidewalk cost an additional $6 per foot. ​

Answer:

$8366

Explanation:

Given that :

Size of porch = 16 by 18 feets

Area of porch = (16 * 18) = 288 ft²

Cost per ft² = $27

Cost of porch = ($27 * 288) = $7,776

Sidewalk = 15feets

Cost per foot = $6

Cost of sidewalk = ($6 * 15) = $90

Cost of gate = $500

Total cost :

(cost of porch area + side walk + gate)

($7776 + $90 + $500) = $8366

Kindly note that the cost pwr foot of sidewalk was erroneously excluded and the value employed for the cost was only assumed.

Social Security:

Week 49 = $167.4

Week 50 = $37.20

Week 51 = $0

Medicare Tax:

Week 49 = $39.15

Week 50 = $39.15

Week 51 = $39.15

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. But I have found similar question on the internet and in that question we are asked to assume the Tax Caps 2020. So, we will solving this question accordingly.

Solution:

According to 2020 slabs Social Security W/H, the upper limit is $137,700, after this amount employer will not withhold social security tax.

On the other hand, there is no limit for Medicare Tax.

According to the question, we know that, Mike's Pay period per amount = $2700.

And, until 48th pay, he has earned $134,400

So,

For week 49, the amount of 2700 will be added to the net amount.

$134,400 + $2700 = $ 137,100

Hence, it does not breach the upper limit so, it will be taxed to $2700 only.

%6.2 x 2700 = $167.4

For Week 50, now the net amount is $ 137,100, and further $2700 will definitely breach the upper limit by $600.

$ 137,700 - $137,100 = $600

So, the $600 will be taxed for 6.2%

6.2% x $600 = $37.20

For week 51, there is clear breach of the upper limit, so according to the 2020 slab for social security, there will be no social security tax over the limit of $137,700. Hence, it will be 0.

Now, for Medicare Tax:

There is no limit.

And 1.45% on the FICA.

FICA earned per period = $2700

Hence,

1.45% x $2700  = $39.15 for each week.

So,

Social Security:

Week 49 = $167.4

Week 50 = $37.20

Week 51 = $0

Medicare Tax:

Week 49 = $39.15

Week 50 = $39.15

Week 51 = $39.15

Answer both parts of the following question. a. The San Francisco Chronicle reported that the toll on the Golden Gate Bridge was raised from $2 to $3. Following the toll increase, traffic fell by 5 percent. Based on this information, calculate the arc price elasticity of demand. Is demand elastic or inelastic

Answers

Answer:

The answer is "0.1".

Explanation:

Formula:

[tex]\text{Elasticity}= \frac{\% \text{volume changes in demand}}{ \% \text{price rise}}[/tex]

Calculating the value of price percent:

[tex]= \frac{(3-2)}{2} \times 100 \\\\= \frac{1}{2} \times 100 \\\\= \frac{100}{2} \\\\=50 \%[/tex]

Calculating the value of quantity change:  [tex]= -5 \%[/tex]

Calculating the value of elasticity:

[tex]= \frac{-5}{50} \\\\ = \frac{-1}{10} \\\\= -0.1[/tex]

Through this convention, the environmental signal is decreased and elasticity =0.1 is achieved until conductivity. Whose comparatively in elasticity is not as high as 1.

Rousey, Inc., had a cash flow to creditors of $16,380 and a cash flow to stockholders of $6,740 over the past year. The company also had net fixed assets of $49,380 at the beginning of the year and $56,740 at the end of the year. Additionally, the company had a depreciation expense of $11,940 and an operating cash flow of $50,265. What was the change in net working capital during the year?

Answers

Answer:

$7,845

Explanation:

Calculation for What was the change in net working capital during the year

First step is to calculate the Cash flow from assets

Cash flow from assets = $16,380 + 6,740

Cash flow from assets= $23,120

Second step is to calculate the Net capital spending

Net capital spending = $56,740 − 49,380 + 11,940

Net capital spending = $19,300

Now let calculate the Change in net working capital

Change in net working capital = $50,265 − 19,300 − 23,120

Change in net working capital= $7,845

Therefore the change in net working capital during the year will be $7,845

The Internal Revenue Service Department of Tax Regulations writes regulations in accord with laws passed by Congress. On average, the department completes 300 projects per year. The Wall Street Journal reported that, as of October 11, 1997, the number of projects "on the Department’s plate" was 588. Nevertheless, the department head claimed that average time to complete a project was under six months. Do you have any reason to disagree? Why or why not?

Answers

Answer:

The IRS's claim (that the average time it takes to complete a project is < 6 months) is wrong.  It takes the Department 23.52 months to complete a project.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Number of projects "on the Department’s plate" (I) = 588 Projects

Average projects completed per year (R) = 300 Projects

Therefore, the flow time (the average time to complete a project by the department), T, = I / R

= 588 / 300 = 1.96 years = 1.96 X 12 = 23.52 months

b) The steps to calculate flow time (the amount of time a flow unit spends in a business process from beginning to end) are given as:

1. The number of projects handled over a period of time.

2. Let R = the number of units produced / duration of time period .

3. Compute the average inventory (I).

4. Compute flow time T =I/R.

A manufacturer has been selling 1000 flat-screen TVs a week at $350 each. A market survey indicates that for each $10 rebate offered to the buyer, the number of TVs sold will increase by 100 per week. (a) Find the demand function (price p as a function of units sold x). p(x) = Correct: Your answer is correct. (b) How large a rebate should the company offer the buyer in order to maximize its revenue? $ 125 Correct: Your answer is correct. (c) If its weekly cost function is C(x) = 61,000 + 110x, how should the manufacturer set the size of the rebate in order to maximize its profit?

Answers

Answer:

A. p(x) = (-1/10)x + 450x

B. 506,250

C. $280

Explanation:

(a) Calculation to Find the demand function

Let assume that the demand Q(p) is the LINEAR function of the price

Q(350) = 1000

dQ/dp = -100/10 = -10

Point-slope form :

Q-1000 = -10(p-350)

Q-1000 = -10p + 3500

Q= -10p+(3500+1000)

Q = -10p + 4500

Hence,

Q(p) = -10p +4500

The inverse is:

(Q-4500)/-10 = p

(-1/10)Q + 450 = p

Hence, p(x) = (-1/10)x + 450 where Q=x

Therefore the the demand function will be p(x) = (-1/10)x + 450x

(b) Calculation for How large a rebate should the company offer the buyer in order to maximize its revenue

Revenue = Price * Qauntity sold

R(p) = p*Q(p)

Revenue = p * (-10p + 4500)

Revenue= -10p^2 + 4500p

let Maximize:

0 = dR/dp = -20p + 4500

-4500 = -20p

p=-4500/-20

p = 450/2 = 225

Hence, Max. revenue

-10 (225)^2 + 4500 *225

= -506,250 + 1,012,500

= 506,250

Therefore How large a rebate should the company offer the buyer in order to maximize its revenue will be 506,250

(c) Calculation for how should the manufacturer set the size of the rebate in order to maximize its profit

Let C(x) represent cost to produce x television sets

Let C(Q(p)) represent cost to produce the demanded quantity

C(q(p)) = 61,000 + 110*Q(p)

C(q(p)) = 61,000 + 110* (-10p +4500)

C(q(p)) = 61,000 + -1,100p + 495,000

C(q(p)) = 556,000 - 1,100p

let calculate the profit using this formula

Profit = Revenue - Cost

Let plug in the formula

P(p) = -10p^2 + 4,500p - ( 556,000 - 1,100p)

P(p) = -10p^2 + 4,500p -556,000 + 1,100p

P(p) = -10p^2 + 5,600p - 556,000

Maximizing:

0=dP/dp = -20p + 5,600

Hence, maximizing profit occurs at price p=-5,600/-20 = $280

Therefore how should the manufacturer set the size of the rebate in order to maximize its profit will be $280
